Default DELETE - Car didn't check out for what I want.

I'm in Southern California but saw a 2008 911 Turbo Convertible online at Grand Prix Motors. Car looks nice online and spent most of its life, and started off, in Southern California per the Carfax. Contact at Grand Prix is Bobby Omrani at 1-949-702-2420.

Willing to fly up and look at if it checks out.

Anyone who has information on the dealer, or who has dealt with them, would be helpful too.

Also, would need a good local shop to do a PPI.

Thanks. Mike (nickname is RJ)

I don't know much about the dealership but this car has been for sale for a very long time. If everything checks out, I hope they offer a pretty good discount.

The car looks nice online. It has 2 options - Tiptronic and sport chrono. It appears someone installed the carbon fiber center console. The exhaust tips look aftermarket. I did find the screen shot below when just searching the VIN. The mileage and location are different so it may just be click bait wanting you to purchase their report.

5 owners and the last serviced it at Big Brand Tires?

Good luck with it.

Did notice the carbon fiber but looks o.k. to me. Didn't notice the exhaust. Thanks.

The service for most of its lif in CA looks good, but yes, it's time up there doesn't look great. Would have a PPI of course.

Looks like a scam and different VIN.

I even looked at the vin twice and missed that. That is great news.
